Advanced Dialog - Basic Radio Settings
Dynamic Channel Selection To enable Dynamic Channel Selection, click one of the following:
Off — Disables the feature
Monitor Mode — If enabled, a selection of DCS Interference
Events appears in a separate dialog. If traffic or noise levels
exceed the configured DCS thresholds, an alarm is triggered and
an information log is generated.
Active Mode — If enabled, a selection of DCS Interference
Events appears in a separate dialog. If traffic or noise levels
exceed the configured DCS thresholds, an alarm is triggered and
an information log is generated. In addition, the Wireless AP will
cease operating on the current channel and ACS is employed to
automatically select an alternate channel for the Wireless AP to
operate on.
DCS Noise Threshold Type the noise interference level, measured in dBm, after which
ACS will scan for a new operating channel for the Wireless AP if
the threshold is exceeded.
DCS Channel Occupancy Threshold Type the channel utilization level, measured as a percentage,
after which ACS will scan for a new operating channel for the
Wireless AP if the threshold is exceeded.
DCS Update Period Type the time, measured in minutes that determines the period
during which the Wireless AP averages the DCS Noise
Threshold and DCS Channel Occupancy Threshold
measurements. If either one of these thresholds is exceeded, then
the Wireless AP will trigger ACS.
DCS Interference Event
(appears if Dynamic Channel
Selection is enabled)
Enable or disable the following DCS Events:
• Bluetooth
• Microwave
• Cordless Phone
• Constant Wave
• Video Bridge
Interference Wait Time: Length of the delay (in seconds) before
logging an alarm. Default setting is 10 seconds.
Protection Mode Click a protection mode: None, Auto, or Always. The default and
recommended setting is Auto. Click None if 11b APs and clients
are not expected. Click Always if you expect many 11b-only
clients.
Protection Type Click a protection type, CTS Only or RTS- CTS, when a 40MHz
channel is used. This protects high throughput transmissions on
extension channels from interference from non-11n APs and
clients.
Min. Basic Rate Click the minimum data rate that must be supported by all stations
in a BSS: 6, 12, or 24 Mbps. If necessary, the Max Basic Rate
choices adjust automatically to be higher or equal to the Min
Basic Rate.
